    I can’t expand the pic big enough. Is that a Diamond or a Federal in your avatar?

    I was thinking that doing that on a driving test will be an automatic fail.

    Normally if I’m taking a 15 mph turn I hit it 6th but always end up down to 4th or 5th. Or neutral if it’s pretty blind, then float to gear

    Got my Chauffers license when turned 18. Only required passing a written test. Converted chauffeurs to CDL when that became required. Every time I have moved I turned in prior state license to new state, took vision test, new license.

    Stupid me, moved to TN in 2012, PO’d at requirement to submit DOT Physical to gooberment and did not think I would ever drive again so I did not continue with CDL. Now here I am in 2022, thinking about future retirement plans and I want to regain a CDL. Now working on arranging time off from work to go get a physical and take the CLP test again.
